ABOUT THE LIONEL HAMPTON SCHOOL OF MUSIC The Lionel Hampton School of Music (LHSOM) is a close-knit community of prominent performers, teachers, composers and scholars who interact closely with dedicated and talented students. We are a musically comprehensive and nationally competitive school of music, and we provide a learning environment in which our students learn by performing, listening, analyzing and creating music.
The Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival would like to take this opportunity to thank and recognize our sponsors and community partners. The generous contributions made by these organizations allow the festival to continue in its mission of jazz education and inspiration.
Together, the faculty and students create an atmosphere of professional awareness, mutual support, collaboration and outreach. We advance the art of music through hundreds of concerts and recitals each year.

LIONEL’S LEGACY Lionel Hampton (1908–2002) was an internationally-known jazz vibraphonist, drummer, pianist, composer and band leader.
University Inn Hotel & Conference Center
In 1984, he attended the UI Jazz Festival (established in 1967) and started a nearly 20 year relationship with Executive Director Lynn “Doc” Skinner and the festival. Hampton was so impressed with the festival’s emphasis on education that he pledged support to the festival and to jazz education in Idaho. The festival took Lionel’s name in 1985 and quickly became a huge success.
CORPORATE SPONSORS:
The University of Idaho honored Hampton once more in 1987 by dedicating its school of music as the “Lionel Hampton School of Music.” Hampton considered it one of the greatest honors ever to be bestowed upon him. To this day, the Lionel Hampton School of Music remains the only school of music in the United States to be named after a jazz musician. The festival continued to grow with performances by jazz artists from around the world. In 2007, the festival was awarded the National Medal of Arts, the nation’s most prestigious arts award. Hampton remained active in the festival until his death in 2002. “It is my goal for the Lionel Hampton School of Music to become one of the top music schools in the world.” - Lionel Hampton
